EPISODE 14

Take care of her.

Where are you going?

Ying.

Move quickly.

Hurry up. Stop looking.

Line up and get out. Hurry.

Don't push. Hurry up.

Stop looking. Just go.

Hurry up.

Ying.

-Ying.
-How is she?

No obvious injury.
She wasn't knocked out by an impact.

Should we send her to the hospital?

No.

I'll try to wake her up.

Knowing how strong she is,
it wouldn't be easy to knock her out.

I told you she wasn't knocked.

She must have been so petrified.

She's braver than a lion.

She wouldn't be shocked by a dead body.

-Ying.
-Where should we put it, sir?

What are you doing?

Stop yelling.

Who told you that you can cut the rope?

Do you have to keep him hanging there

for an exhibition?

Do you know that you're disturbing
a crime scene?

What crime?

It's just an accident.

Is this what an accident looks like?

We sealed off the scene
as soon as we got here.

And no suspect was found.

Yi-suo was killed
by his own performance equipment.

He failed the performance
and got himself killed.

That's what happened.

Case solved.

Did you see that?

Ying Gu passed out backstage
when the incident took place.

Don't you think it's suspicious?

I saw it. But she's unconscious
because she was possessed.

Let me tell you something
about this famous Juhua Grand Hotel.

It is haunted.

All right.

From what I see,
this is just a simple case.

I found nothing suspicious around here.

Don't get yourselves
or any of us into trouble.

Understood?

Grow up, will you?

Mo-hai, let's have some snacks
after you're done with your work.

-Okay.
-Hey!

Why are you still there?

Get out!

Go away!

Throw them out.

Home! I want to go home!

Ms. Wang, you can't leave yet.

-You're an important witness.
-Let me go!

-I want to go home!
-Please, Ms. Wang.

Go home?

Won't you be alone there?

If you stay, the police
or us can watch over you.

You'll be safe here.

This place is better than your home.

This is called joining the valley.

This acupuncture point
is good for muscles relaxation.

You can massage it yourself
when you are free.

There is another acupuncture point
which can make you happy instantly.

Would you like to try it?

It's at the tip of your nose, right here.

Do you feel better?

The police may come
and ask you some questions later.

If you don't want to answer,

just ignore them.

If you'd like to say something,
you can come to see me anytime.

The only thing we learn from history

is that we learn nothing from history.

The law-abiding are sad,
the lawless are happy.

The wicked are rich, the honest are poor.

The good are punished,
the bad are rewarded.

I asked the Buddha why
and he said that's how it is.

What are you doing?

She's conscious now, right?

Don't worry too much.

It's an overnight tea.

What?

You just splashed an overnight tea on me.

Do you know that she may get into a coma

because of cerebral hemorrhage
or brain damage?

You could kill someone
if you wake them up like that.

A what?

A paralyzed person who is incapable
of living on their own.

You may have to take care of her forever.

Mr. Ding, don't treat me like I'm a fool.

Have you caught him?

Who?

The man on the stage
of the Juhua Grand Hotel.

Was there anyone else?

I remember I saw a fat, bald man
when I was backstage.

He threw some sort of powder on me
and I don't remember anything after that.

But I have a vague recollection
that he carried a case when he left.

We didn't see anyone else
when we investigated the site.

How did you miss a guy that big?

He's fat. A fat, bald man.

You much catch him.

I believe he has something
to do with Yi-suo's death.

Ms. Gu, you've been
in a coma for four hours.

Do you want to have some rest?

I don't need to rest. Go, get him!

Please.

COMMEMORATION

Come in, please.

HUANG MANSION

Put it inside.

Okay. Come and put it here.

Please come in.

He earned so much money.

It's such a shame
that he died before spending it.

A shame?

He used to visit the tavern
and brothel every single day.

If I were in his shoes,
I would die with no regret.

The amount of pleasure
you could have in one life is predestined.

Once you've used your quota, you'll die.

Stop gossiping.

The walls have ears.

So, what? He's dead now.

Everyone here knows how he was.

Mrs. Huang used to pamper him
and we couldn't do anything about it.

By the way, what is an usher doing here?

-Get back to your work.
-Right.

Okay, right away.

Let's go.

COMMEMORATION

Hey!

Why are you here?

What are you doing here?

-What about you?
-I'm doing what you're doing.

Do you think they're suspicious too?

Of course.

What's wrong with us?

Why don't you tell us?

Right. Who are you?

Why are you here?

I knew the usher was up to something.

What?

Okay, I'll cut to the chase.

I'm De-you Guo,
Captain of the Wuhe Salvage Team.

This is Mao Ding, President
of the Chamber of Commerce.

And this is...

Nobody.

You broke into our mourning hall.

What do you want?

From our investigation,
we suspect that Yi-suo was murdered.

Why is the captain of the Wuhe
Salvage Team doing the police's job?

This is my friend, Mao Ding.

He is a special detective
of the police department.

It's only appropriate for him
to investigate such a case.

For us, his sudden death is suspicious.

Excuse me, Mrs. Huang.

Did Yi-suo have any enemies in Tientsin?

I told you. My brother would never fail.

He must have been killed.

Yu.

Have you found any clues
in the mourning hall?

Well,

we just want to check Yi-suo's body,

so that we can verify our judgment.

But we don't have enough evidence now.

-If we can find something here...
-Mr. Ding.

I understand that.

You mean the police
don't have any hard evidence.

And that's why you sneaked
into my house to check the body.

My son was killed by his unskillfulness.

I can do nothing about that.

But I'll never allow anyone
to disgrace his body.

Please leave.

Please go.

Sorry for the intrusion.

Didn't you say you don't believe me?

So why did you sneak
into their house to check the body?

You even dressed up as an usher.

How could you expect your shifty eyes
would convince anyone?

Well, what have you got?

Is there anything wrong with them?

I'm asking you.

Hey!

Why did you do it yourself?

Isn't it obvious?

Your belly was cut open
when you were investigating.

Do you think I'd continue investigating
with such a burden?

De-you Guo!

Mind your words.

Did I ask for your opinion?

You were drugged unconscious
by the murderer

before you could get a look at him.

I thought you know how to punch and kick.

Didn't you say
your spirit channeling is invincible?

Do you think I'm hindering you?

Yes.

All right.

Let's go.

You are really good at keeping your cool.

Great power demands great patience.

I just want to find the holy child
as soon as possible.

I'll deal with Secretary General Xiao.

Perhaps, I can find the Preacher for you.

Try more ways.

Removing obstacles

and finding the holy child
must be done simultaneously.

I could get exposed at any time.

Do you know how much risks I'm exposed to?

Do you think that the process
is much more interesting than the result?

Only if we can foresee the result
or it will be a suffering.

I'll try my best to get you the Preacher.

And I hope he's capable
of finding the holy child for you.

Do you really have to make
our relationship sound like a trade?

Aren't you glad

that you've joined a wonderful journey
of natural selection and revolution?

As long as I can make sure
that I will survive the selection.

I hate to deal with boring people.

It will be dangerous for you

if I find you boring.

This is redundant.

So it's best to have it deleted.

-Okay.
-Yes.

Cicadas know when autumn comes,
men don't know how death approaches.

-Go on, Ms. Xiao.
-Even if he's part of the underworld...

-Okay.
-If he could actually

-You can go revise it now.
-backstab Master Huang in secret...

-I'll see you later.
-Okay.

Take it as an advertisement.

A man like him
won't take provocation lightly.

He'll come find me.

Since you insist on delivering
a challenge to him in the paper

in order to force him out.

Why not take a little risk?

Just say what you want.

Why don't you allow us
to write a column for this?

If the murderer doesn't show up
before the deadline,

you will reveal some secrets
of the underworld every day.

If the murderer
is really in your line of work,

he will definitely show up.

This is a taboo.

If you do this,

you're putting me on fire.

The magic master
died a mysterious plotted death.

You're seeking revenge for him.
It's a right thing to do.

They may disapprove
of your way of doing things,

but they can never question your motive.

Mr. Huang, am I right?

Living without your love

Is like living without oxygen

You are everywhere

I don't know what you like,
so I took the liberty to order for you.

I hope you like it.

It's good. Everything looks good.

Is sit enough to just look at it?

Well...

Do you have chopsticks?

Please bring me a pair of chopsticks.

Don't just tell me to eat,
have some yourself.

I've lost my appetite.

Are you still feeling sick?

I couldn't fall asleep.

How about we go to another restaurant?

That's not necessary.

That day,

Master Huang was strangled to death
with a rope around his neck, right?

As if he hanged himself.

Why are you asking me?

You were there, weren't you?

But that wasn't what I saw.

Ms. Wang, your chopsticks.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You only saw his head hanging there,
not his full body?

Yes.

I didn't see his body.

-Could that be because you were shocked?
-I know what you mean.

But I was fully conscious.

And I didn't have any drink before that.

I'm pretty sure
it wasn't a delusion caused by panic.

Since I can sit here and watch the stage,
I know I'm not insane.

What I saw was so real.

It couldn't be a delusion.

I don't know much about foreign magic.

But I do know a little
about our traditional magic.

With professional skills
and showmanship for distraction.

It needs modified tools, of course.

Magicians can deceive
most of the audience.

But if they try to put on something
even more impressive,

they need a rarer trick.

-What is it?
-The trick of illusion.

The trick of illusion?

Only with a true magician's trick
can one really fall for the illusion.

And it is normally used
with a drug for the full effect.

Ms. Wang, the world is full of deception.

What you see isn't always true.

But the effect of the illusion
will pass when the show is over.

Do you mean

that Master Huang used this trick
on me when he was performing?

That's what I find strange.

Yi-suo was just performing
some ordinary western magic.

It wasn't any rare trick.

Anyone who's familiar
with tricks will know that.

The trick of illusion was unnecessary
for a show like that.

Therefore, I believe
that someone else did it.

-Who is it?
-Yi-suo's murderer.

-Master Huang was murdered?
-Don't worry about it, Ms. Wang.

I'll take care of it.

Nothing would go wrong.

Slow down.
No one is going to take it from you.

Hello.

What?

Okay.

I understand.

Bye.

What's going on?

Ms. Xiao called to tell us

that Mr. Huang issued
a challenge on the paper.

He said he will reveal
the secrets of the underworld

if the murderer doesn't show up.

What secrets? Tell me first.

Some jargon

and lingo.

Is he insane?

Someone is scheming against his family.
His brother just died.

If he really does this,
his family will be done for.

Do you think he is being used?

I should visit his house.

-Mr. Guo.
-Yes?

These fried cakes are freshly made.
It's hot. Have some.

Goodness.

I just had steak and cod.

I can't take eat anymore.

Where did you have those?

And you didn't even share with us.

I always think of you
and that's why I'm willing to share.

Goodness.

Okay. That's very kind of you.

I'll keep it for dessert.

Hey!

What do you mean by that?

TIENTSIN DAILY

Mr. Huang Issued a Challenge
to His Brother's Murderer.

Mr. Huang is in the east wing.

Please come in, Mr. Guo.

Hey!

Hey!

Why are you here again?

What are you doing? I almost caught him.

There was a door between you and him.
How could you catch him?

And with your poor skills,
who are you going to catch?

So it's my fault?

Is it mine?

Yu!

-Young Master.
-Yu!

Yu, what happened to you?

-Go get the doctor, hurry!
-Okay.

Help.

Yu.

-What...
-Mrs. Huang.

We understand Mr. Huang's eagerness
to find the murderer,

but declaring a challenge on the paper...

We fear he would get into trouble
so we came to talk to him.

Unexpectedly, we saw what happened.

Mrs. Huang, don't worry.

There's nothing wrong with him.
Just some bleeding from his mouth.

But

do you still think your son
died in an accident?

Someone is trying to destroy you.

The murderer is still hidden.

It's very unfavorable.

Therefore, we'd like to check
your elder son's body.

You can only be at peace
once we find the murderer.

There's no wound on him.

There's no indication of struggling.

No sign of physical attack.

He was indeed choked to death.

Judging from the strangulation marks,
Yi-suo Huang tied the rope himself.

How can you be sure of it?

If someone else did it,

the knot would be
in the opposite direction.

But if the murderer is left-handed,

he would tie the knot
the same way Yi-suo did it.

If someone else did it,

why is there no indication of struggling?

Because he passed out
before he was tied up.

I just told you,
there is no sign of physical attack.

Remember what happened to Ying Gu?

Yi-suo Huang could be drugged
before he was tied up.

Left-handed?

What's wrong?

You said it was a fat,
bold man who hurt Yu.

Yes.

We all saw him.

I saw him at the Juhua Grand Hotel myself.

Were you drugged?

Maybe.

Not maybe. I'm sure.

Lao-xian Wu.

Who?

Our former disciple.

He was expelled because he studied
the forbidden medicine secretly.

Where is he now?

I never heard about him since then.

Yu.

Why are you here?

I heard you're investigating the murderer.

So I want to talk with you alone.

After all, I've had
direct confrontation with him.

Perhaps I can give you some leads
to help you solve the case.

That would be great.

Goodness.

Heroes, thank you so much.

-Hey.
-Hey.

You're most welcome, Mr. Huang.

You saved me.

And you're also helping
with the investigation.

It's very generous of you.

It's our pleasure.

It's our pleasure.

But

it's our family's matter after all.

Considering that my brother
didn't die in a decent way,

I hope you can leave
the investigation to us.

Besides, you're investigating
in the mourning hall

right after my brother's death.

As if nothing happened.

I feel bad.

How about this?

After the funeral,

we could have a gathering to discuss it.

Light a stick of incense before you leave.

As a tribute to the dead.

Young Master, I heard
that you're looking for someone?

Yes.

Why don't you tell me?
I'll have somebody to look for you.

I don't want to alert
the man I'm looking for.

So I need to find him secretly.

Go to the Little River God then.

He is very good at it.

Young Master, don't you think
you should put more energy

on the Chamber of Commerce?

Why must I go to De-you for these matters?

Do you think I can't do it without him?

It's said

that he studied hard
when he was a disciple.

Nobody knows why he was expelled.

After that, he sold candied medicine
in the suburb for some time.

He was very strange.

He never promoted his goods.

How could he sell so much?

And the candied medicine he sold
was different from the others.

How different?

Whoever ate it would have a nightmare.

Children would be hysterical.

They would get up at night and run around.
No one could wake them up.

Goodness. What happened then?

Then nobody dared to buy his medicine.

He couldn't make a living.

So he moved away from the suburb.

Where does he live now?

How would I know?

I came here to ask you that.

That's right.

I would tell you if I knew.

But I already paid you.

Are you here to ask about Lao-xian Wu?

-Yes.
-Did I tell you about him?

-Yes.
-So your money was well spent.

Nothing can't be found if you keep asking.

I've found it out.

Lao-xian is very weird.

He lives in a suburban meadow
where he grows plants.

He rarely shows up in town.

I want to know where he is,
not what he does.

Why didn't you say that earlier?

There is a reed field
in the upstream area of Yingou River.

My uncle raises shrimp there.

And he saw Lao-xian some days ago.

He has cleared the land there.

Nobody knows what he's growing.

He seems to be even weirder than before.

But he still looks the same.

Very recognizable.

You can never forget him.

Mr. Guo, should you...

Ask him.

Stop dressing like that
to scare people. It's bad luck.

Who asked you to speak?

Slow down.

It's hard to walk here.

Young Master.

Just go back
if you don't want to continue.

Why are you so annoyed?

It's none of your business.

Is it because of De-you?

I'll hit you.

I don't understand you two.

Is it fun to fight
and reconcile repeatedly?

I think you should really consider
what to make of your relationship.

It's because of that actress.

What actress?

You know that actress.

You mean Ms. Wang?

Just because of this?

This won't end.

But aren't you helping De-you anyway?

Helpers, listen to me

You hold my rein and asked me
which dynasty I come from

You stopped my horse
and asked me where I live

Ying, be careful. Don't set me on fire.

Rest assured. I'll keep you alive
so that you can marry me when we grow up.

Get in. Hurry up.

I don't live in the north

I don't live in the south

I don't live in the water

I don't live on the mountain

Who do you think I am?

I am the Immortal Xian-gu He from heaven

Help!

My mom always mooches off others.

But she never owes people.

She said if you owe someone,
the debt will be doubled.

But I owe him.

My mom said that man
was a human trafficker.

Luckily, De-you saved me.

But he has been acting weird
towards me since.

As if he has scruples about something.

Untidy quilt and rumpled sheet.

Mr. Huang must have been sleeping.

No, resting.

Write down "resting"
instead of "sleeping".

The criminal broke in and woke Mr. Huang.

They began fighting here.

Look at the fallen table.

The table top is facing out
and the legs are facing in.

Apparently, the table
was pushed over by Mr. Huang

to stop the criminal.

We can tell

they were fighting fiercely.

But unfortunately,
the criminal was too malicious.

And Mr. Huang was already wounded
so he was unable to use his full strength,

He was thus taken away through the door.

You may ask,

how did the criminal get inside the room?

Did he come in this door?
The answer is no.

Just look at the latch.

It's intact.

You may wonder,

could it be...

Could it be Mr. Huang himself
who opened the door?

Was Mr. Huang not being cautious
because he knew the criminal?

No.

The window latch is damaged,

so the window must have
been pushed open from the outside.

That means the criminal broke in
through the window and woke Mr. Huang.

They fought together
and Mr. Huang was seized.

The criminal took Mr. Huang
and got out this door.

This is my deduction.

We can't follow your speed.
Slow down, sir.

Try harder. Let's do it one more time.

No.

The window latch is damaged.

The window was pushed open from outside.

That means that the criminal
broke in through the window

and woke Mr. Huang.

They fought.

They fought together.

Mr. Huang was seized.

The criminal took Mr. Huang

and got out this door.

This is my deduction.

-Great!
-Good job!

Mrs. Huang.

What a surprise. I didn't take long
to figure out everything.

I believe it won't be long before
I catch the criminal and rescue Mr. Huang.

-Captain Fu.
-Yes?

Mr. Ding and Little River God
has been here before.

They deduced
that it was the traitor Lao-xian Wu

who killed my elder son
and hurt my younger son.

It must be him who kidnapped Yu.

Impudent bastards.

Exactly.

In fact, I've been suspecting

this Lao-xian something.

It's the perfect timing.
I'm planning to lead an operation

to catch this Lao-xian.

Don't worry, Mrs. Huang,
I'll definitely bring him...

To justice.

Take me with you.

Mrs. Huang,
the criminal is very dangerous.

I don't think you know
a lot of our tricks.

Lao-xian was our disciple.

I won't allow him to kill both of my sons.

It has been a while since the last time
I slept beside someone.

How do you feel
about lying together with a girl?

A bit crowded.

Goodness. It takes me back
to my childhood.

That's right.

I remember I slept beside De-you
when we were younger.

Did you sleep together?

It wasn't like that.
Stop talking nonsense.

We just lay together on a bed, naked.

-Naked?
-It was normal for kids.

How are things between you two?

We know each other too well.

We know each other's temperament
and character.

We'll fight each other for a little spat.

But we were never angry
with each other for too long.

I always forgive him.

That's because you love him.

Enough about me. What about you?

What about me?

You and Mao Ding.

I don't know what's on your mind.

But if I were you,
I will love who I love and do what I want.

Damn the consequences.

Isn't that right?
